"If it isn't here, it doesn't exist."

"Say you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone says plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp. Out of the blue. No explanation. No use looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness." - Miller

Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday
Alex Cox's first sequel to Repo Man.

In 2005, AntStuie Productions began filming this as a no-budget production, but it was never released. They did, however, eventually produce a documentary about the experience called A Texas Tale of Treason, which may still be available on eBay. More information here.

A short time later, work began on the Graphic Novel which was advertised as the official sequel and released in the spring of 2008. It appears to have been influenced by a rough cut of the unreleased film.

I once had my own idea for a sequel, but it was completely different and nobody has shown any interest in filming it yet.

There used to be a good on-line explanation of why Pulp Fiction=Repo Man, except made for white college kids to like. It has been suggested that it was the aliens from Repo Man in the briefcase (which in turn may be the unexplained nuclear device from "Kiss Me Deadly").
